WEEK 11 REVIEW: Lafayette slips past SLUH, Stunning 4th Quarter Ladue comeback, Troy beats unbeaten St. Dominic, ESL dominates Glenwood · Gateway Sports Venue Show

• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Gateway Sports Venue Show.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Thank you all for joining us, as we are going
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: to talk about probably the best week that transpired all
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: season in the Saint Louis.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Area so far.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Typically that's what you get for the playoffs, but I
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: cannot remember a chaotic week like this of just awesome
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: football games with dramatic twists and turns in quite a
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: long time. Roman.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: If you could kind of sum.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Up this week real quick, how would it go?
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Some physical football, some crazy comebacks.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Absolutely multiple comebacks as well.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about talk about those comebacks a little later on,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: but first we're going to start off with what we
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: had at the game of the week, and it lived
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: up to the billing and maybe then some. Lafayette the
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: favorite team. They hang on to beat the Slew Junior
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Bills twenty eight to twenty five at home in the
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Class six District two semi finals. Lafayette had a twenty
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: eight to fourteen lead at halftime, did not score all
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: in the second half, but it was ultimately enough to
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: hold off the Junior Bills, who, unfortunately for them, started
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: off seven to zero but in the season with a
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: three game losing streak.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, tough to see if the Junior Bills, I mean
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: they got a tough draw schedule wise. I mean they
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: had CBC in Week eight and then a really good
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Rockers team in week nine, and unfortunately for them, they
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: were put in the toughest district in the state in
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Classics District two.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: And you know, we knew this was a tough game.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, we knew this matchup between the Junior Bills
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: defense and the Lafayete offense would be would be a dogfight,
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: and it was. I mean, the SLU High defense was
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: able to adjust a half time enough to contain the
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Lampers completely. I mean they should them out in the
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: second half. Yeah, that's huge. And typically when you're keeping
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: it close and you shut somebody up somebody out in
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: the second half, you're gonna win the game. But unfortunately,
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: due to an untimely injury of Jordan Taylor in the
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: second quarter, the SU High offense wasn't able to get
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: quiet enough going in the second half to dig themselves
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: out of the hole they had in the first half.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: But yeah, final score in this one twenty eight to
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: twenty five. Lafayette wins. And the crazy play that everyone's
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: talking about is the ref six that we're gonna call
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: it the pick six by Terrance Bills in the second
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: quarter with about a minute left, where it was a
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: pass over the middle and it hit off the referee,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: off the umpire and deflected right into Terrence Bill's hands
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: like you could not have it was.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Such a lucky balance.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: That's that's the only way I can say is because
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: like first of all, well I tweeted this out on
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: on Friday nights. It's like the referee is part of
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: the playing field. So whatever happens what I mean with
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: the referee, if the ball is hitting him, if if
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: it's him or the other, if it's line judge or
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: whatever referee it is, you can't really complain if you're
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: on the short end of the stick there because it's
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: just that's just part of the game. Unfortunately, it's extremely rare,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: but that's really the only fair way to write those rules.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: And I guess the rule riders of football one hundred
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: years ago to side of the referees would be part
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: of the playing field, which I guess is good because
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: I mean if the ball I mean, because you know
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: it managed to visit other way around where if a
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: ball touches the referee to play, just blowing dead automatically,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Slu's gonna complain. It's like, okay, well, why is the
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: referee in the way of the pass because that could
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: have been completed and then you know it should have
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: been blown dead. We should just get a retry of
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: a down or whatever. But that's just what we have
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: with the referee is part of the playing field. It
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: hits off him right in to build his hands and
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: he runs back for fetch down, which at the time
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: was a huge play because Lafayette had just scored to
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: take the lead. Well, they already had the lead because
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: sluw Hi had mister mister pat So the game was
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: fourteen thirteen, Lafayette was winning.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: And then uh Bridie Mesik makes a.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Nice throat to Chase Roder for a touchdown to go
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: up twenty one to thirteen, and then slu Hi is
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: a getting a good drive going and then they have
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: a pick six, which is so brutal. That's that's so tough.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, that was that was Elbie's only interception of
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: the game, and that's that's not his fault. Now, you
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: can't fault it for that. That's just he can't fault
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: anybody for that.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: That's just brutally unlucky.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: But I'm sure, as coach Creuz would say, and a
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: lot of other coaches I've been around in my time
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: with football, is that in the close game like this,
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: that's never just one play that decides the game. Yeah, Like,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: especially when you get two good teams like this, you can't.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: You aren't going to be able to just look at
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: this play like, oh, this play alone has probably lost
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: the game, because that's not true. I'm sure that they
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: would want some of their defensive plays back in the
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: first quarter. But combats to Lafayette on a huge win here.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: This is what we knew.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: This would be a tough game for him, went into this,
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: and they came through in the clutch. Bride Maysik had
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: not the best game, but I guess the job done.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: Ten to eighteen eighty four yards, one touchdown, the two interceptions,
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: and he had fifty seven rushing yards. Terrance Bills had
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: sixty four rushing yards, and Cody Keen had eighty three
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: rushing yards. So the Russian attack was actually one of
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: the better performances by the Lafayette running game we've seen
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: all year. They had two or four rushing yard as
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: a team, just a hair under five yards per Carrie.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: And you know, the Slew High secondary, which has been
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: amazing all year, was able to lock down in the
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: second half.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Right, But they've definitely shown some cracks ever since the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: CBC game because then they played after that Rockher So
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: that was probably their worst game of the season, the
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Rockers game. And then yeah, they fought really hard against
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Lafayette in a game that we knew that Lafayette was
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: probably the favorite going into it. And these are games
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: that Lafayette typically lose historically, you know, a big game
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: in the playoff, they typically don't win those. But however,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the last few years, wells going back to last year,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: they have been able to win some of these big games.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: You know, Cardinal Ritter last year was that was a
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: huge win. And then you know the other night against
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Slew is another one that they can kind of put
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: into the memory bank. Is just knocking off a really
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: good program like Slough at home and that that Rep
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: six was also a double whammy for Slew because Jordan
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Taylor got hurt on that play and did not return unfortunately.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: So just like you said, brutal brutal, unlucky, unlucky, brutal
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: bad luck right.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: There for slow Yeah, well a couple other guys that
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: wanted to shout out before we move on. Keen Harris
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: had probably the best offensive game of his career. Twenty
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: three carries for two hundred and forty one rushing yards
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: and yeah, without a doubt, and two touchdowns I believe, Yeah,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: two touchdowns. Incredible performance by Harris. I mean, when they
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: run up in that wild cat unbalanced, you kind of
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: know what's coming, but it's still really hard to stop.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: And that's what that's what the Bills are really good
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: at this year. When they got in a short guard
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: situations and.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: You know it was it was good enough.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: But the phrase I say all the time in these
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: close games, the most important points or extra points, and
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: slu High missed a pat in the.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Second quarter to put them behind the eight ball.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: It did, and then had they tried to go for
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: two in the third quarter, they missed it, which put
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: them down by nine, so they made a two score game.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: And then when they scored in the fourth quarter, uh
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: lb to Zach Allen pass and fetched down they went
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: for two again, which is interesting because at that point
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: is a three point game, and if you just kick
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: the pat and then makes a two point game, which
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: you could go you can go ahead.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: If you make it feel like yeah either way.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: But I guess the kicking game was untrustworthy for Slue High.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: We'll trust the judgment of the coaches on that one.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean, when you have ten minutes left
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: in the game, it's like, you know what, might as
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: well go for to see what we got. I guess
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: is what their thought process was. But congrass altif forget
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: it done.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Oh and the guy wanted to shout out Tim Washington.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Not the flashiest game for him for catches for eighty yards,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: but those are very timely catches, so big first.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Downs for him to keep Lafia drives going.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: That was huge. Yeah, he's been their number one receiver
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: this season, very so.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Clutch plays for him.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: But yeah, Lafayette lancester ten and O man, their incredible
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: season continues, and it may.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Be the first time they've ever been ten to no.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and they've got their toughest tests in program history
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: coming up. I mean, this will be the most difficult
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: game the LAFA football team has ever had this coming week,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: where they play at CBC, and this game, what's up?
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I was wrong?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: In twenty twelve, they started out they they were undefeated
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: until they lost to Francis Howell in the Class six
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: semi finals. So they got to twelve to zero and
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: then lost to Francis how in a close seventeen to
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: six loss. And I'm sure they've had some being Class
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: six and being good. I'm sure they've ran into some
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: really good teams. But yeah, you might be right. This
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: might be the toughest opponent they've maybe ever faced.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: And speaking to CBC, we'll briefly go over their game.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: It wasn't all our top fifteen games the week because
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: of how they crushed to Smett earlier in the week,
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: but this game ended up being really interesting. I mean
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: De Smett just refused to go away. So CBC went
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: up pretty quickly twenty one zero in the.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: First quarter, and then they just both teams trade points the.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Rest of the game.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so while CBC was in control the entire time
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: outside of the first quarter, De Smett was able to
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: do almost whatever they wanted to offensively in the second
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: and third quarter, I should say, the fourth quarter of
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: their offense kind of sputted out, but incredible game by
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: the Sharp brothers, I mean, Cam had well. First, let
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: me let me just talk about CBC real quick. Vic Williams,
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: I mean shocker, he did amazing ten carries hundred thirteen yards.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Nick McClellan even better performance twenty carries one hundred eighty
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: eight yards seven to thirteen, passing one hundred eight eight
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: yards passing when touchdowns zer interceptions. How often do you
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: see a guy get the exact same amount of yards
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: rushing and passing the same game.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: That's pretty rare.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: That's incredibly rare.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Well, we've seen something, We've seen. This CBC team is
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: so crazy, man. We'll see some like their stats every week.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: There's always something unique going on, whether it be cour
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Day Gauge getting just as many receptions as he does
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Pats kicked, or Nick McClellan the same amount of rushing
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: yards and passing yards and they're both almost a two
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: hundred or Vic Williams averaging twenty yards of carry. It's
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: like there's always some crazy stat going on with CBC.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: But their offense continues to be the best in the Midwest,
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: and they absolutely prove themselves this game. I mean Vic
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Williams had three touchdowns in this game, and.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Two in the first quarter.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: It was twenty one nothing, it was twenty one nothing,
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: but then it was thirty one fourteen a half time
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: because like, okay, this met's kind of hanging around.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: And then Williams also had a sixty eight yard touchdown
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: reception for McClellan. Yeah, so it was Cordy Gauge had
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: to made two short field goals and looks.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Like anything within fifty yards of the ship shot for him.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he didn't do much besides that. He had one
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: reception for fourteen yards. But just he's doing He's always
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: doing something.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he had six tackles on defense. Okay, there, He's
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: just he's the one of the best Swiss Army knives
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: that we've seen in the area so far this year.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Jim or Simms for CBC had two sacks. Huge, huge
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: day for him.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Jake Plummer first with the way of the Cadets and
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: the receiving category with three catches for eighty two yards.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: This nice night for him and for the SeMet The
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Sharp brothers are good and Cam had nineteen carries for
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: one hundred and thirty three yards. He had two touchdowns,
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: and Rocky Sharp had a kick a twin touchdown in
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: the fourth quarter to keep things interesting because Cordie Gauge
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: got a field goal with that eight minutes left in
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: the game.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: And then Sharpp returned then and soon kickoff for a touchdown.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: So I was like, oh, okay, you know, thirty six
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: to fifty two, you know, seven minutes left, so CBC
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: still got it in hand. But you know, that's that's
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: a two score game, and you don't want to just
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: totally blow it here because you know, while the smeth's
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: not in the machine they were last year, they're still
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: an OK team this season. And oh yeah, yeah, you
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: know they finished off six and five, which you know,
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: obviously is not to their standards, but given how much
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: they lost last year, especially off their defense, we knew
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: it was gonna be tough for them to reload.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: And they did kind of reloaded quarterback as just far
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: as production went, because Gave Rodriguez finished with twenty seven
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: hundred passing yards and Dylan Duth threw for twenty seven
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: hundred yards last year. Too hard to complain not the
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: same obviously, but just it's I mean, they were able
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: to pass pretty well, Rodriguez.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Was doing his job pretty much every week.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, there was never a time where you were
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: disappointed in your QB performance for de Smeth this year,
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: which I think is really huge because of how good
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Duff was last year. It's okay, this's gonna be tough
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: for replace this guy. But Rodriguez stepped in really well.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: And you know, the only two times where their offense
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: just did not do enough was the Slew game in
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: Week three and the first time they played CBC.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I think if they would have played Slough again,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I think they that's a better game. Yeah, because I
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: think this smet really had figured things out around mid
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: season with their offense. Yeah, defense was always a struggle
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: all season. I would imagine they're gonna be better though,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: because they were. They were pretty young this season, and
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: you know, and next year, I mean they're gonna have
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: both Sharp brothers back, and then Chase Cooper is a
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: promising sophomore quarterback, and I don't know, I don't know
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: about their offensive line. I know they graduate some guys
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: and then receiver wise, yeah, I mean Ridge Ridge, James
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Roorce Cercy and then also I mean Cam Sharp. He
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: was a really good receiving back too, and it'll be
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: interesting how they use both those guys. So yeah, they
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: definitely got a lot of promise coming up.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's really interesting to see how to cement it
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: just for next year. And THENBC moves on to play
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: Lafayette next week. We will dive into that game next episode.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: But that's gonna be a heck of the game, yea.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: Moving down to the next game, we're going to talk
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: about Troy defeats Saint Dominic. Final score this when it
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: was forty eight to twenty.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you were, you were there, so this is all.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I will let you take care of this one.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: So I need to bring up the receipts.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: So before you got the seats, So before the game,
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: I texted you because I went early to watch the
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: pregame one ups because I have not been able to
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: see Saint Dominic this year, so I kind of wanted
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: to see.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: So these are I want to get a deeper look
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: at who they were.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: These aren't public receipts, no, but I can.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I can screenshot it and you know, prove it.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So on so Friday night, I.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Don't think I had any bad takes. I don't think
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I commented much on.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: This, so I you know, after the pregame one ups
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: on Friday night at six thirteen pm, I texted you.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: I said, Troy by twenty eight if their D line
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: doesn't screwed up, all right, And they won my twenty eight.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: The good I got my pick right, which is cool.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: And the crazy part was that this game was actually
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: tied at fourteen and a half time. And I do
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: want to I want to say, first, first guy, I
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: want to give credit to Crutter Vowel is insane.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: He runs like a all pro NFL running back.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Wow. He keeps the way he keeps his feet going
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: through contact is incredible. There were really only so he
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: had twenty three carries for two hundred and twenty seven
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: yards and three touchdowns.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: That is the second third touchdowns, the third time this
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: season he's rushed over two hundred yards in a game.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: And it were there were of those twenty three carries,
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: there was I want to say, only two times where
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: it only took one guy to take him down.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Because the other game, I wish that we could we
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: could track broken tackles because and I tweeted this out
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: on Friday, it looked like he had about twelve broken tackles.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: In the first it was pretty incredible how well he
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: was able to run the ball.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: And you know, the Troy rushing offense isn't anything too flashy.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: But the second Dowell or Chris Winger, who also had
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: an amazing game. Once you know those guys get gets
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: in space, it is all over. Yeah, And that's going
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: to be at least a twenty yard game because both
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: those guys, and it's it's interesting how different those backs
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: are because you know, it's not like Dowell is seeking
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: out contact, but when he does get into contact, he's
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: completely unafraid, runs through it really well. And then Winger
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: is a little bit smaller and it's really shifty and
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: it's really good, loud on the movement, really hard to
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: take him down.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Coach wiggers I was able to talk to him after
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: the Francis how A game last week and he said
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: that those two guys are thunder and lightning.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: And by the way, that was Carterdal's sixth career two
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: hundred plus yard rushing game.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Career leader in rushing yards at Troy.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: It's gonna take a long time for someone to break that.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: It's gonna take a long time.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: And for Saint Dominic, I do want to give them
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: some credit here. Their offensive line played extremely well well
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: in the first two and a half three quarters.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they were really when I saw them against a
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: my CDs, they were controlling the tempo and the clock
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: and they were able to kind of do a lot
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: with the run games.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: So yeah, they were.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: I know people are saying they don't play anybody, they
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: have a small schedule, but you could tell, you know,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: when you see a discipline offensive line, and yeah, they
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: were every bit of that.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Saint Dominic is very well coached.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: I was very impressed how the offensive line came off
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: the ball, especially against a bigger troy D line. I mean,
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: if you look at just average height and weight, the
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: troy D line is bigger than the Saint iminica O line.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: But in the first half it didn't really matter because
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: in the first on the first drive of the game,
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: and this this was crazy. The first drive of the game,
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Saint dominicast the ball and they didn't even complete a
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: pass and they drove right down to Troy's twenty yard line.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: They ran the ball right at the gut almost every
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: single play. Their oh line.
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: We're going to get second level really well and get
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: good blocks on the Troy linebackers and defensive linemen and
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: safeties especially, and they were just it was it was
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: very impressive. I had expected I had expected Saint Dominic
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: to try and establish.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: The run, but I didn't. I didn't expect it to
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: be that clean at first.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: And they kind of have a running back by committee proach.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: By committee approach there is as Dominica, the Tina Hurts
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Dominic Plo, Hayden Bowlinger or kind of their guys.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Paylo had some of those carries in the first drive.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Five guys with over three carries and three guys with
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: over six carries.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so they had a great start with the game.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: And then it was about a fourth and one and
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Sat Dominic lines up in there. Two It's it's a
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: very interesting wildcat on balanced formation because they have two
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: guys back there.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: They both have their hands up ready for the snap.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: They've been doing that a long time.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's very interesting, and you know, they it worked
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: for them most of the time. On Friday, and it
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: was a fourth and one and they do that play
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: run off tackle and it looked like they got the
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: first down. It was very close, but it looked like
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: they got it, and so the ball is spotted. The
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: referees come together and discussed for what felt like two
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: and a half minutes. It was a long time, and
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: then without measuring, they just moved the chains. So obviously
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: the Troy sideline kind of freaks out and it's like, okay, well,
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: what are we doing here?
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Why can't we just measure this? This shouldn't take too long.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: And then the referees discussed a little bit more and
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: then they moved the chains back, and then the sant
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: Donmalic sidelines obviously pretty upset, and then they bring the
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: chains out to measure it, and I'm not sure if
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: they respotted the ball. I'm pretty sure I heard coach
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: Mark Rave freaking out that they might have done that,
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: which once it spoted the first time, especially on a
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: close play like that, respotting it as always given me controversial. Yeah, absolutely,
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: But they brought the chains out and it was a
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: first down, so big ball don't lie a moment. And
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: it was really cool because of the set of downs
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: before that, Troy or not Troy, it'sychonomic runs up, got
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: for first down and the train comes right by their
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: field and blows the horn.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: So that was really cool.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: You know, we're rushing down the field as the trains
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: coming by. That was kind of a cool little part
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: about the games.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: It's literally and figuratively a train going down the football field.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: It felt like, yeah, exactly. But with that, you know,
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: ref ball and I will say outside of that little bits,
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: outside of that controversial.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Five minute discussion for a first down, the referees were.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Good this game. Okay, that's good.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: They were good that they and and that was the
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: crep call I believe was a first down.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, so they got it right off.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: They got it right, but it was just a little
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: awkward and slow at the time. But when you were saying,
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Dominica and you're driving like that, having to just stand
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: there for five minutes doing nothing is it's gonna kill
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: your momentum almost every single time.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: And that's always tough to and it gets.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: A defensive break, yeah, because the defense a huge break
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: to kind of regroup.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: And I've seen coaches and I've heard of coaches in
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: the past, especially against up tempo passing teams, just try
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: to just do whatever on their own and like argue
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: a call or just prolong anything just to slow down
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: tempo because they know their defense can't really handle it.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: So in this case, it was just a call where
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: the referees just struggled with communication I guess for you know,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: a handful of minutes and yeah, it was kind of
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: unfortunate there, but they still got the call right.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: So yeah, like you said, yeah, so weird scenario. But
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: another guy I want to give a shout out to
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Britan Shashen is awesome. He is a heck of a quarterback.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure where he's going to play the next level.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Long, I think and I.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Think his dad played there too.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: I think he did this. Kud's got a very bright future.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, his his completion precise wasn't the best,
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: but it was eleven. He was eleven twenty fourth two
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: and sixty five yards two touchdowns. And I will say
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: the fact that he did not get sacked I believe
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: it was until halfway through the third quarter is extremely impressive.
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: The amount of sacks he dodged, he had to be
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: close to seven or eight. See the way he is
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: able to hit his pocket presence is incredible. Every way
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: he's able to find his guys down the field. Is very,
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: very impressive and probably the best QB in Sant Dominic history.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, they've had some pretty solid qbs come through
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: their halls, but he had a heck of a game.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: And the flea Flicker play that he had Coleman Murchison
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: in the second quarter was that was awesome.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie that.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: That was super cool to watch because you know Troy's
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: first two drives in the second quarter they scored both
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: times to go up fourteen zero and go, okay, here
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: we go. This is thirteen zero. Should say it's like, okay,
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: well it took a little bit long enough, but you know,
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: Shroy's gonna control this game, so hopefully Saint Dominic doesn't
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: just fold over and didn't. So Nomlic responded really well,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: you know, the Tanner Hurts touchdown and then they stopped
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: troying a three and now they get the ball back
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: with about forty seconds left and flea Flicker executed perfectly.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: Shashine was almost sacked but not quite, and then Merchison
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: was able to get away for a touchdown and that
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: stadium was going crazy. That that that environment the Crusaders
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: stadium one Friday was such a cool place to be.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: It's they have a really good environment and it's it's
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: a very I think, kind of a cozy place as well. Yes, intimate,
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: and yeah, it's a they do it well over there,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: they do.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: And it was cool to see because there were a
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: lot of Troy fans there and a lot of Satam fans,
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: So it was.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Cool to see tons of people standing.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: There were there. It was standing room only an hour
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: before kickoff.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Wow, I it was wow. That's what it felt like.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: The least.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, there were some there were still some space.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: They could have realistically moved that game to linen Wood
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: and you would have had there would have been a
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: nice crowd.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, seriously.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: And then sat Donald was able to hang in there
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: a bit in the third court, but ultimately Troy was
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: just too much and the combination of thunder and lightning
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: and Cardal and Chris Winner was too much. And I
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: will say Carson Twelman made some really good catches, some
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: really good catches. I believe it was the twenty one
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: yard receiving touchdown he had in the third quarter. At
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: the end of the third quarter, he was being blatantly
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: interfered with, and he still made the catch for a
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: touchdown and one.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so that that was impressive. So I mean, for
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: what their offense is, I think QB Carter Shaeffer goes
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: really good.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: I mean they don't. I meant, I've said it before.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: They don't try to make him do too much. But
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: when they're stuck in third and lungs, he can make some.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Really good throws.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: He can make some really good plays.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: And he was eight of eleven for one hundred and
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: sixty eight yards, three touchdowns, zero interceptions. That's huge.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: That was probably best game.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean if I don't, I don't think either
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: team after Yeah, there were no other than turnovers on downs,
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: which there were several of those. New the team had
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: a turnover, which I think is huge because I think
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: if Troy turned it over and a third quarter that
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: would have definitely given sant Dominic some more life and
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: got them in the game for longer. But yeah, this
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: is this is a super super entertaining game. That's what
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: tron Moving on Congress, Saint Dominic in a great season.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, it sucks to go one and done in
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: the playoffs, but not in the ones. A heck of
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: a season, and I really really hate that these two
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: teams had to play each other in the second round.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's that's so Unfortunately, we've already discussed
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: last week that we're going to tee off on the
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: MISHA playoffs. I know.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: I mean it's Saint Dominic.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: The fact that they had to draw either Troy or
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: it was you know, Troy or how that's.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: That's a tough break.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: I mean when you got teams like pat Villa and
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: Ritten are getting was it was it Writtener who play
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: Hazel West? To that it was.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Written Or beat Hazewood Central forty two to six, and
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: then uh Pat beat Hazel West I think fifty five? Nothing?
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: So this this is nothing.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: It's Patville. I have no problem Pat. I'm trying to
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: explain the system we have here. Yeah, Padville goes four
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: and five, and what are they rewarded with a bye
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: and then a second round matchup against an nineteen hmm
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: well one to nine, but oh nine an every season
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: San Dominic goes nine to oh and what are they
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: rewarded with a bye week and they gotta play Troy? Yeah,
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: that's come on.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: This it's a it's a system that tries to be fair.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: To everybody, but you're ultimately going to make things more unfair, Yeah,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: when you try to appease everybody.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So that that's that's tough. That's really tough.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: And I real quick I wanted to say Aboutchine where
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: you know you you know there's a good quarterback in
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: your presence in a game when the quarterback is really
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: hard to sack and it's just calm under pressure, like
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: it knows when to scramble and not to scramble and
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: just will stay in there for like a second or
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: two and is the fire off of pass. And I've
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: seen a lot of quarterbacks this year where they just
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: kind of panic a lot under pressure in the pocket
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: and make things worse. And so and just yeah, quarterbacks
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: who just read the game really well, maybe not have
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: the greatest arms, but just guys who can read it
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: really really well. She has a great arm. Yeah on
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: top of that too, And so yeah, he's he's just
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: one of those guys who is who has those capabilities
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: And yeah, definitely easily a top five quarterback in the
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: area that we have this season. So it's uh and yeah,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: and so it's not saying just for entertainment purposes. Yeah,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: it's unfortunate to see one of our better qbs on
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: a not undefeated team going into the playoffs, you know,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: having to lose that first game. Not that I had
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: a rooting interest in who was going to win, because
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: we I even picked Troy to win the game, but yeah,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: just just it's unfortunate.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: At the same time, I will say, even though it
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: was a twenty eight point game, it was a very
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: very retaining game because mostly because of how talented both
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: teams were, and I think especially how well coached.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Both teams were.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Very two teams who are very well coached.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Other than a few face mask penalties, which is just
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: kind of not good technique when tackling, which is on
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: the players, there were there were no two minimium the
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: field penalties. There was no.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Bad timeout that had to be used.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: One thing that Sancdonomic does that I have not seen
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: any other team do is the second that coach mark
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: way and now says the formation they're going to be
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: in that play, the other coaches will see the formation,
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: and then the entire sideline also echoes the formation at
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: the same time, so everyone knows the formation and the
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: personnel packers are going to use. So they got, they got,
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: they got two, three, sometimes four guys substituting every single
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: play and there's never an issue.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: So very impressive. It takes a lot of repetition, it
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: does so very.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Good coaching on both sides.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: It's always fun to see that because it because the
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: game is more clean when you're able to actually focus
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: on the good football being played and not coaching miss
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: cues that that's better for everybody.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: So it was great to see that.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: And Troy in the Class four Class six District four
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: Championship will match up against is Zumo West who squeaked
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: one out against Liberty. Final score and this one was
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: sixteen to seven. And this was a funky game because
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: Zamo West was able to get three Kid Williams field
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: goals all He had a thirty nine yarder, a thirty
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: five yarder and a thirty four yarder all in the
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: second quarter to go up nine to zero at halftime.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: And it's crazy because Clayton O'Brien had a really good
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: game twenty seven two thirty one yards, one touchdown.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Win interceptions. They just could not punch it in.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they just couldn't finish drives and they couldn't really
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: establish as much of a run game either weak. Again,
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: that's it's interesting. I mean it's they I understand how
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: they want to get their guys out in space and
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: the outside, which which they do really good. I mean,
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: they got guys like Garrick Dixon, Reese Kleine, Ethan Schumacher
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: who have great hands and can use the space very effectively.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: But you know what I think this is, they'll take it.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: This is a this is a tough winning it's a
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: tough Liberty team. And Garret Dixon you could say this
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: is the best game of his career. I mean he
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: had two interceptions. On defense, you know, the nine catches
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: for forty three yards is great. And you know this
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: kid's gonna play a kset fair reason. I mean he's
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: one of the one of the toughest defensive backs in
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: this in the area. And you know, wesk got the
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: job done. That's That's kind of all I had to
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: say about it, because they didn't really do anything too
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: crazy offensively. I mean defensively, they they completely shut down Liberty.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: I mean they held Liberty to they held Liberty to
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: the point where Liberty only put him in defensive stats. Yeah,
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: so they own Liberty's offensive stats unfortunately are not in
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: s to high school sports yet. West had a couple turnovers,
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: but ultimately it wasn't too much for West to handle defensively.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Which is huge.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, we've been talking about this West defense a
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: lot so far this year. I mean, they've held some
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: good teams to some pre low point totals. They held
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: Liberty to seven points, they've held Troy to seven points,
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: they held Kirkwood to ten points, and that I think
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: is very impressive and.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: All season.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and if the West O line can just get
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: to the second level cleanly and just give.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, I would assume they want to keep handing
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: it off to Don Lawrence.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: If they could just give Don Lawrence enough space at
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage, he can get through and get
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: six yards carry. He's a good athlete back there. So
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: we'll see how they adjust, because you know, that's that's
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: a that's a good way to start the playoffs to
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: and no nice wins against Prince Sawell and Liberty, But
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: if they can't establish a run game against Troy, that's
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: gonna be tough because and the scheme is gonna be we.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Can we can talk about this game in the next
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: we will will I know you're excited about.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: I'm so excited about this game. Yeah, but I guess
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: my final faults in the Liberty game.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: It was a great season for Liberty. I don't know
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: what you were going to say, but I mean they
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: went I think they won every game. They would have
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: loved to have had that North Point game back, but
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: besides that, they won every game they were supposed to win,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: and I think, you know, realistically, got as far as
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: they probably could have because I think is what was
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: better team than them ultimately going forward, really close game.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: And you know, this program has grown a lot in
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: the last few years, and you know, they're playing in
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: classics and you know, being competitive against other good teams,
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: and it's a it's a far cry from where they were,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: you know, just a handful of years ago. So they've
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: done a good job of adjusting, switching their offense and
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: doing a lot of good things with it. And defensively,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: they really stepped up after the Zuemont North game where
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: they got shut out. And so hopefully the future of
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: the program is good because I think they got some
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: good things working for them. Jalen mac Is might be
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: their best athlete probably, I know, I mean he is.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: He is their best athlete they've ever had, so he's
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: going to be tough to replace. But they Sullivan Thornton's back.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: He's a he'll be a senior next year. He was.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: He had a really good season for them at quarterback.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: And yeah, they lose some other pretty good athletes too,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: but when you get your quarterback coming back, and hopefully
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: they got some good linemen coming up, they'll be all right.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And Liberty is a very interesting case football wise
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: because they are in the middle of an ever changing
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: school district really, and the Whentschool School district has exploded
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: over the past fifteen years to where they went from
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: one school back in then nineties to two to two.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: It was just holding Timberland for a little while there
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: and then Liberty came up.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: Was that kind of around.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: Twelve and now we've got North Point and it's a
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: it's a it's a district in it's a part of
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: the area that continues to grow population wise. So I
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: would assume Liberty is going to stay in Class six
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: for several years to come, but it depends on if
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: if the Wentsville School District kind of feeds some of
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: their kids in the Holt, which is probably gonna happen, you.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Would think so because they're pretty small right now. They're
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: the smallest school in their district.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so we'll see how that kind of evolves there
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: on Wentzville. But I mean, props to coach head coach
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: mc ryan McMillan over there at Liberty just for kind
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: of changing their scheme over the past couple of years.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Has really done some great things.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is a program that from twenty fourteen
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: to twenty twenty two only had one winning season and
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: they've won seven games in each of the past three seasons,
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: which is great. And there they're always they're not playing
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: the toughest schedule, but they're playing some tough teams every
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: single year.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, plays them Waltmorth, They're always gonna play teams.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: And you know, I mean for them to you know,
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: beat Timberlin, Beattholt, beat those rivals, that's pretty big.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Beating Warrington thirty five nothing at the time was kind
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: of a big deal.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: I mean, Warrington finished off seven and four, So that's
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: that's a good team they beat. And you know, congrats
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: to you know, this is again you know, you go
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: six and three, you definitely don't want to, or you
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: go seven to two, you definitely don't want to, not
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: want a playoff game, but sure, tough drawl again being
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: Classics District four and you know, congrats to Liberty again
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: in the great season.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: And it's what West moves on.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, this is a this is a this
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: is a game that I can't believe we're talking about
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: as far as who won the game given where they were,
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: but ldou down nineteen nothing with a little under eight
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: minutes to go in the game. Somehow, but Someway stormed
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: back in a little under three and a half minutes
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: of game time to stun Hazel At East twenty one
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: to nineteen to advance to their first district championship game
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: since twenty nineteen. I'm still shocked, and it it was
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: just a madness of football with in about yeah, three
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: and a half minutes of time right there that I've
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: I've never seen before, quite frankly, and I've seen my
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: fair share of comebacks, never seen one like this where
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: just a team who.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Looked down and out.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: At least at least like just hopeless on offensively, Dude
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: just could not get much going. They had some good
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: drives before that, and in fact, they actually got into
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: the red zone one time in the first half and
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: I think even went backwards and missed a field goal,
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: and so they kind of had some opportunities, and their
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: offense even kind of were giving the game away because
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: they had one pick six really just a bad throw,
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: and then another interception which was an even worse throw.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Anthony Williams on hazwldis had both those interceptions, so good
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: for him there. Both those interceptions led the touchdowns. So
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: that was essentially thirteen points that Hazewoody scored off of defense, really,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: and then they had one really good drive at the
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: first drive of the game where they had sustained drive
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: I think they went about eighty yards or so and
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: scored on a they converted on a fourth and two,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: and then Terrence Little scored off of that and it
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: was about a twenty yard touchdown run. So that was
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: the one real hiccup that LEADU had defensively, but other
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: than that, they broke a little bit but held and
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: did a once again a great job. Ladue's defense has
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: been by far their best strong point of the season.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: I mean that their defense is why this comeback was
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: able to happen, just because it gave him the opportunity
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: to do that. So it all started with seven minutes
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: and forty one seconds to go on a sixty three
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: yard touchdown pass from Jack Hensley to Evan vi And
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: then the biggest play of the game was on the
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: ensuing kickoff where East was anticipating an on side kick. Instead,
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: Lead opted to kick it all the way downfield, so
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: it was a lot easier for them to get to
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: the ball get to the returner because you know, a
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: lot of guys are not going to be blocked because
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Fields there.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: But then Jacob Peeples, who was a starting safety, he
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: was also on the kickoff return, he was able to
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: knock the ball.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Loose for a fumble.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Trevor Walker picked it up, returned it to the ten
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: yard line and there was a holding penalty on East
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: on that play, so then the ball was moved half the.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Distance to the goal line.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: And then on a third and goal from the five,
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Evan Vie in a wildcat runs it in for the touchdown.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: I mean by like he had a huge week against Mic,
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: but the following week against Haze East. He was kind
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: of a superhero for Lado in this game. Yeah, he
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: had two touchdowns there.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: And then.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: So at that point, I honestly was our our cohort
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Sean West. He was there and he was you know,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: it was it was just crazy how this was unfolding.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: And then I I mean I told him like, like Sean,
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: I think Lady is gonna win the now it's nineteen fourteen.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: They're going to get a stop on defense here because
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: they have all the momentum. Their defense is gonna be
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: they they have a lot of adrenaline, their defense has
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: been solid. I think they're going to get the ball
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: back fairly quickly here and they're probably gonna get good
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: field position.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: There's a chance they have a chance. And that's what
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: they did.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: They got a three and out and then just a
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: really poor kick catching interference by East. Roman you saw that.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: I think that play that was That was the play
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: that was, that was the name on the call.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: It really spelled doom for East.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: That was that was proof that Okay, everything is falling.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it moved the ball, Lady would have had
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: a really good field position. It would have been right
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: at midfield. But then that's a free fifteen yard so
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: they get the ball at around the thirty five yard
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: line and then they get a first down, and then
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: I think it was a second down or first down.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Jack Kensley throws a twenty four yard touchdown pass to
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Maddox Wolf, who had an incredibly, incredibly clutch and skillful
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: over the shoulder touchdown pat reception into the corner of
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: the end zone. I thought I was right there.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I had a really good angle at it.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: I thought that was overthrown, but he was able to
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: haul it in and Ledu goes crazy. Sidelines are going
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: crazy with about I think a little over four minutes
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: to go at that point or under four minutes to go,
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden they have the lead. It's pandemonium.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: And then next possession, Evan VII gets an interception on
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: a third down, pretty much like an arm punt essentially,
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: but that was a great interception because he was able
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: to get both feet and bounds. He was right on
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: the sidelines where he caught it. And then, in typical
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: to Do fashion, they cannot end the game on offense
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: because they could not get a first down, so they
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: punt it back to East with about forty three seconds left.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: They have no timeouts, but in typical to Do fashion,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: they kind of make They have a habit of making
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: things interesting. Even on defense where East they were able
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: to I think like a pass interference was called or something,
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: so it got the ball to midfield and then they
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: complete a pass to a receiver for about fifteen yards
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: and so there they were like the thirty five yard line,
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: so so they were in range for a hail mary.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: I still was I was still feeling fine because look
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: they still got to do that. It's they should be
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: able to stop it. And that's what they did through
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: a hail mary, and the end zone receiver was covered
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: and then Gus Logan for the young team time this season,
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: picks off a pass in the zone, falls out and
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: game was over and just in you know, Zuladu guy,
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: incredible feeling, incredible relief, and then I just the drive
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: back and then the rest of the night is like
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: how are we here right now? How are we still alive?
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: And it was just yeah, just an incredible game. I'll
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: never forget. And then just your heart, your heart goes
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: out to Hazel at East because.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: Don't think they were really rattled by the first touchdown,
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: and but then the fumble happened, and so I think
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: after that when it was nineteen to fourteen, in the
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: blank of an eye, maybe there was some of that,
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: but uh, it's just it really. A way to describe
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: it for me is it was like witnessing a high
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: speed car crash.
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: And watching watching the YouTube video I've never seen because
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: if there was one of those ESPN win probability charts,
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: you know, when his was a nineteen zero with oh
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: my gosh, that was like what eight minutes seconds, it
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: had to be chance at least a nine to five
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: percent chance. It was like in the long passing touchdown,
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: the fumble and the kickoff that I've never seen a
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: flip like that in just back to back plays. Yeah,
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: that's because usually it takes a little bit for the
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: collapse to happen. But it was just like that, all
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: of a sudden, the due finds himself right back in
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: the game. And yet again, the most important points are
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: extra points, and the dude did have a misfield goal.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: One was a forty seven yarder, which is excusable. The
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: other one they should have made that, but they if
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: they made.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: That then the extra points wouldn't have mattered, but they
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: did matter.
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: And if he just converted on the pats, then I mean,
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: even if the game goes to overtime, you got to
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: give the edge to the duke because they had all
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: the momentum.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: But this, this is a crazy ending because I was
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: because we were texting, because I was at Santa. I'm like,
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: you were at like you couldn't believe it, because at
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: first you were like, this is horrible, I hate this,
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: this is not good. And then I was struck in
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: the score. I was like, I was like wow, And at.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: The same time, every time you hit refresher would have
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: probably been score right there.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: It was ban can span two minutes.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was crazy.
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: Three minutes technically, yeah, not what I expected, but that
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: that was pretty crazy.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I've never seen a comeback all of a sudden
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: like that ever before and may never. It'll be a
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: long time since that would probably happen again. And this
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: lad team, I mean, they are they are the cardiac kids.
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: If you've seen him play this season. They had a
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: wild game against Writtender in Week two. They and they've
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: had the hold on a few times, like against summit
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: where the last play of the game that wasn't the
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: last play, but they needed a goal line stand to
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: finish them off. And that was a game where they
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: probably it shouldn't have been that close, but it was.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: You know, by the way, it's the second time they've
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: beaten Hazel East of this season. Yea lost in the
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: shuffle in that and they also get revenged on East
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: last year who knocked them out of the playoffs and
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: who beat them twice, and then the Doo comes back
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: this year and beats them twice again and knocks them
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: out of the playoffs. Yeah.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: Just an insane, insane game.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: That is how the most apt I can describe this
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: because I've never seen anything like it like that before.
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, congratulate the Rams for moving on. They got a
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: tough one next week. But for them to be here,
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: I'm sure they're just they're happy.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: To have their seasons turned out.
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they'll win the war and Warson last week. Yeah,
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: especially after the rough week none of the dew had.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was I must say, like.
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: I felt like you can say it was a collapse
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: by Hazweled East, but I really thought it was more
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: le dou has just had really good resolve and you've
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: got to give them a ton of credit for not quitting,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: because they really could have folded after East went up
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: nothing and I thought they were gonna fold, but it
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: just kind of like, I don't know what went into
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: that first touchdown pass, but it was just like, hey,
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: let's just take a shot right here and see what happens.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: And I think that's a really good way to approach.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: It like that, just hey, we got athletes, let's just
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: make it happen, not go down with that, Let's just
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: try to go down swinging.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: And it happened.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: I mean that the two absolutely huge plays happened right
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: in rown Ludu's favor and that changed everything there. And
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: so I thought I thought at first Ladoo were architects
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: of their own downfall because they.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: You know, through that big six and just they had
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Self inflicted wounds offensively with like pre snap penalties. It
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: was ugly for a while.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: And East.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: I still give credit DA's what East their defense for
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: most of the game, because they were they did a
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: nice job themselves, but I thought it for a lot
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: of it was just self inflicted to do stuff and
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: then Do finally stopped getting out of their own way.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: And yeah, there was some other self inflicted stuff on
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: East as well too, So by by no means it
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: was not a clean game, really, but dramatic to say
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: the least. And that's just three games we've gone through
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: right now, and it's almost been fifteen minutes.
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: Well, well, I guess we'll go through some of these
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: next teams pretty quickly that weren't as close.
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: So we've got five or whatever games we've done.
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So Eureka they defeat Rock with summ at twenty
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: one to.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Three, second time they beat him in this year two
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: and it was a very similar score, very similar.
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: And for the second time this season when these two
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: teams have played, Erika's defense has been completely shut down
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: the entire game.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: I mean they held summ At.
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: To one yards of total offense, two yards per carry
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: on the ground, zero passion touchdown on to two interceptions.
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, the Wildcat defense was incredible, I mean.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: And been incredible all season.
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and Patrick Cutchcraft gets the job done. I mean,
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: you're with the way this game turned out. This is
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: the playoffs, so there's no reason to be flashy and
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: Eureka's not the team to be flashy and Brandon Webb
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: not the craziest that line, but does nothing get it done.
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: Thirty one carries one hundred and ten yards, one touchdown,
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: Blake sitting and near by. Feiser also got the end
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: zone for the Wildcats. Hash cutchcrafts, you know, solid game
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: ten of eighteen in the air, one touchdown, zero interceptions.
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: I think the big thing for Eureka is the no turnovers.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: I mean the fact that for what they do, they
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: can't turn the ball over.
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: I know, and we we've seen Eureka face face in
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: years before in the playoffs, face teams they should be beating, and.
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: They make it a close game by turning over.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: And they were able to lock down this one and
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: keep the ball in their hands, which is huge. So
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: while we expect them to win this one, I think
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: this is big for them to win it. The way
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: they did was to just keep it safe the entire game,
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: make smart plays, never give the game away. Was it?
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: I believe it was Chuck Nole, who's former Steelers head coach.
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: He had a great quote. This is back in the sixties.
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: I believe he said, in order to first win the
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: game you must not lose. Ita did a great job
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: of that, which is huge.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: You know, many many times football is just the games
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: are decided by just teams losing it, yeah, more than
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: winning it, if that makes sense, yeap, And so.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I congrats to CBC HM get to win there.
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: That's huge for them. A little bit of a school
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: district gravalry there. They're now eight and two and they
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: move on to play Kirkwood and what should be an
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: interesting game for something, you know, tough way to end
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: the year. Finished the season eight and three started out.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, they had a lot of expectations going into
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: the season and then they just they kind of lost
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: every game that was either you know, Eureque the Eureka
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: or to do where it's like, okay, probably not going
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: to beat Eureka. Le dou is more of a fifty
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: to fifty game, and they weren't able to win that.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: And they did a good job. They did a really
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: good job of i think winning every game that they
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: favored to win. Yeah, but in all the games that
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: were it was either a toss up or a yeah
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: probably like sixty forty, you know you're not gonna win.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: You know, they lost those, so it's I think that's
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: the second year in a row they go eight and three,
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: and it is yeah, so not I mean.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: Nothing to be bad.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: If you're winning eight games, they're opportunity like about eight
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: or nine wins a season over these last five years now.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: So it Coach Stewart, what coach Stuartan and staff are
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: doing is just awesome. Yeah. You know, actually, if you
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: take out COVID, you can go back to twenty nineteen
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: and they won ten games that year.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: Two, So they're they're right.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: There every year and they're always competitive. This year they
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: just you know, districts semi finals, a tough opponent Eureka.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: They're in a tough district and that's that's what that's
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: what can happen. And you're gonna face I mean in
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: Class five District two, you're you're going to run into
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: Eureka or another really good team. And you know, Kirkwood
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: and Lafayette have fluctuated. Well, kirk would it's been classics
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: for a while and that's their first year in classified,
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: but then some years Lafayette's got to be there and
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: then and maccuds was there a few years ago too
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: when they were really good, and so there's gonna be
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: multiple really good teams you're going to have to beat
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: in order to get out of Classified District two, and
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: some just couldn't get out of it again for the
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: second year in a row.
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: Moving on to an interesting Class four game, we had
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: Orchard Farm defeats U City forty three to twelve. And
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: speaking of a team losing a game, U City just
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: gave this game away. Really, or tra Farm didn't mean
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: or Farm had an okay game. They didn't do anything crazy.
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: I mean they had two hundred and eighty one yards
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: of total offense.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: Oh so there's probably some turnovers in there.
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: You City had FOREI interceptions, oh boy, So especially in
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: the second half. Their U City just collapsed, which is
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: tough to see from them. I mean, they've had a
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: great season so far. They came into this one nine
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: and one.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: This is by far the toughest team they've they faced,
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: probably than St.
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: Gentevieve that, and that was like week two, I believe.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But Orchard Farm at home is a tough team
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: to be And unfortunately for the Eagles, Collinson Clair is back,
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: and which is great. You know, you want to see
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: the best players and all the best on the teams play.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, but he didn't have a particularly memorable game,
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: you know, seven for fifteen and fourteen yards, so that's
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: that's not even like one of his better games of
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: his career.
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: That first half over the first half went kind of
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: how I expected. I mean, the game was twelve to
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: six and a half time with the defensive battle, both
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: teams going back and forth, trading, trading possessions, mostly clean game,
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: and then the turno overs. Man, I mean, that's that's
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: what it comes down to. Man, you're not going to
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: be a good team ever. Maybe when when you lose
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: turnover battle for one, Yeah, that's that's that's horrible. That
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: That is a really tough way to go out for
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: U City.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: And.
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: It sucks the Lions.
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: But this is a very young team that I think
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: is a very bright future. I know that. You know
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: Travis Allen, he's a running back. He's a sophomore.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: Teddy Stevens is their quarterback, he's a sophomore.
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: I believe the Cotton brothers, Jalen and Jason, I think
• 53:09
  Speaker 4: one's a sophomore, one's a junior. I forgot which is
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: which I could be wrong on that, but I believe
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: neither of them are seniors, which is big. So this
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: this is a solid team that has a bright future.
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: So very unfortunate. Way to go out for you, City,
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: But keep your head up. You had a great season.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: Jalen Cotton is a senior, but Jason he is a
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: He's a junior, that's right. So Cody Kaden Jackson is
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: another good player, he's a sophomore.
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: You City, I know this loss can leave a sour
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: taste in your mouth, but you had an incredible season.
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is one of the best u cit
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: these teams we've seen in a long time.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: Since twenty fifteen.
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, most most wins in the in the season for them,
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: is it?
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: Since fifteen?
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: Is that? Is that the year where they have no
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: I think they had more wins this year than twenty fifteen.
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: Twenty fifteen they won a district, They went seven and six,
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: and they were just playing at a highigher level than
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: like they were. They were beating Parkway West and Hazewood
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: East like they beat sees in Saint Dominic.
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: And so yeah, this is this is their most wins
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: in the season since the MISS records go back, so
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: at least since the nineties.
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: I want to say, because.
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's wow, that's really good because U City for
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: a long time they play, they used to play really
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: tough schedule every year.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: They're just.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's that's that's really impressive. I know they're
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: not plying the same level of quality teams as they
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: probably were back in those I just know from a
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: decade ago. I'd like to see them. I don't think
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: they will. I mean, I don't know what their schedule
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: is going to be like next year, but i'd like
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: to see them move up to the suburban suburban Orange
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: if they can, because to really test themselves. And you know,
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: when you play higher quality opponents, you're going to get
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: more respect. And so that's why I think a lot
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: of people were skeptical on U City this season, because
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: it's like, well, that's great that you're blowing these teams out,
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: because you're definitely moving in the right direction. But you know,
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: but if you're going to demand respect, then like it's
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: going to be harder for people to give you that
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: respect at the same time, because you know, people say, well,
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: you're on easy mode and it's not the same.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: So but you know, but I think I think This.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: Was necessary though at the same time, because I think
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: a good way to develop your program, there's a lot
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: of ways to go about it is just to you know,
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: at first, you know, lose small, then win small and
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: win big, and they were you lose big. I understand
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: that they.
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: Already win small and then you win big.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: They were already losing big last year, but then they're
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: starting to lose small, and then this year they got
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: to you know, they were winning big for most of
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: their games this season. And you know, their two losses
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: were the two good schools, Saint Genevieve will talk about
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: them their game and live for life, and then Orchard Form.
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: It's a team who very well could win a district
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: championship who they lost to, and it was a really
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: close game and they lost because they turned the ball
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: over a lot, you know, so it wasn't like they
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: ran into a team that just overwhelmed them.
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of.
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: Winning big, the Flyers, Yeah, roll over Chatham glenn Wood.
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: Final score in this one is fifty three or fourteen.
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: East Lewis had seven hundred and sixty.
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: Yards of total offense.
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: Oh, seven hundred and sixty assuming the stats are crafts
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: in Eston Hospital Sports, which I believe you have was
• 56:20
  Speaker 4: checking Twitter and East Lewis driving down the field every
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: single time.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: I know Mason Johnson Cook had a ninety nine yard touchdown.
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: Ye my Son had twelve carries for two hundred and
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: fifty seven yards. It doesn't say exactly how many touchdowns
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: he had, but I know he had a nine a
• 56:33
  Speaker 4: nine yarder, and I believe he had two more. So
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: I think he had at least three touchdowns of the game.
• 56:38
  Speaker 4: Reees Shanklin had one of his best games ever thirteen
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: of sixteen, three hundred and one yards.
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: Passing the ball. Think it's no question that's his best
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: game ever.
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: Ronnie Gomiller, who has been one of the better return
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: men in the area, had a great game catching the
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: ball five catches for one hundred and eighty one yards.
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: That's an average of thirty six yards perception. I mean,
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: yet again, all the Flyers athletes just continue to impress.
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: And this the two teams are kind of going back
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: and forth.
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: In the first quarter.
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: I know Chattam glenmood actually led the game fourteen thirteen
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: to one point.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: It was twenty to fourteen and halftime.
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: But in the second half, the Flyers just completely took over.
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: So eastt lewis doing what East Louis does in the
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: first few rounds of the playoffs every year. We let's
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: just take care of business. Yeah, I mean they are,
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: They're not playing with their food.
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: They are.
• 57:22
  Speaker 4: They are defeating the they I mean this is I
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: feel like literally every single year in the first round,
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: in the sweet sixteen and even the quarterfinals most years,
• 57:30
  Speaker 4: eastint Lewis is winning every single of those games by
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: forty plus points.
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: And Glenwood was the one seedon part of the district
• 57:36
  Speaker 4: and then part of the bracket.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: They got such an off break. I know that.
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: That's I said there's two weeks ago that when the
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: brackets came out. If I'm Glenwood, I am very upset.
• 57:47
  Speaker 4: I am extremely exciting because I'm nine.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: To zero in my second away from it kidding me.
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: That's insane. That's cool.
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: And they had to be a really good Joe that
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: Catholic tea. Yeah it Yeah, I know, we've We've had
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: a lot of nice things to say about the ich
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: Say's playoff or Matt It's overall better, but it's it's
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: definitely I don't like how they position I don't like
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: how they ranked teams. As far as seeding goes.
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: They go pretty much it's completely off win loss to start,
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: and then if you're tied to somebody, then it goes
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: to opponent wins and it's like, okay, yeah, I get yeah,
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: easy Lewis is six and three.
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: But that's now that's where best schedule in Illinois. It
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: is people, but people have seen me rip on Misha.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: Here's where I actually really agree with Misha. I think
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: their their branking system, their points system is great for
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: how they see teams, So I think how they do
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: the seed teams is really good. But the big problem
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: is is how they assigned the way they're distributed. Absolutely,
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: I think Illinois does a good job of distributing teams.
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: I think it's a lot better than and how Misha does.
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: It's easier. Well, these are two very different states.
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: I mean Illin only you can kind of just divide
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: north south where north is Chicago Land and South is.
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: South of Chicago Land. Yeah, there, which kind of splits
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: the state and half population.
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: Wise, and more than not even that, it's just it's
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: still like mostly Chicago. Yeah.
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: And if Missouri wanted to do that, they would have
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: to kind of do it East West with I guess
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: case is the center of one of St.
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: Louis the center of the other?
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but I think it works better that way.
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 59:28
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: I think well, some of the ideas that I have
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: or personally and I've seen other good ones. I think
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: Misha's got a really good ceiling with how they can
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: make way with playoff formats and whatnot. And like we
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: said before, we're going to have a podcast to talk
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: about that late after the season.
• 59:46
  Speaker 4: So we'll dive deeper into playoff formats. But for now,
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: East Lewis continues to fly high as they destroyed Glenwood and.
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: They have They take on Chicago semeon two o'clock at
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: Clyde C. Jordan Stadium on Saturday afternoon next week on
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: November fifteenth.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: We get a lot of good games in ill one.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: Next week we got well, we got two good games.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: Well there's only two of them, that's right, but both
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: of them are really good.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: And one of the teams will be playing in those
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: is the pre Central Cougars. For the second time this year,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 4: they roll over the Freeberg Madguts. Final score this one
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: is forty two to seven. This game was never in doubt.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: I mean we were. I was checking Twitter throughout this
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: one and it was always it was thirty six zero
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: half time. Every time you refreshed, Central scored.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know Central held Freeburg to thirty nine
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: rushing yards as a team one point two yards per carry.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: A rushing attack that had been pretty effected the past
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 4: several weeks just gets completely shut down Central's defense.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: It's just been unbelievable this season.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sore, Central unfortunate does not have their stats in yet.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: They have a really good I'm not gonna say this
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: is a better team than last year, but they are
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: still able to really accomplish what they were trying to
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: do last year. They have I think their receiving corps
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: might it might actually be better because they have three
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: seniors who have been really good for them, and they
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: have good size where Nate Beerman, Conlin Harr and.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Bryce Sweeter.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 2: All three of those guys have over I'd imagine all
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: them actually, I know for sure they all have over
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: four hundred receiving yards each. And then Cole Davis is
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: the first running back they've had, I think since twenty
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: nineteen who's rushed for over one thousand yards in a season.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: I know, I can twitter. Him and Owen Carr were
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 4: doing kind of whatever they wanted offensive.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: Owen Crare is going to be a really really good
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: quarterback and he's only a sophomore. And like this pre
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: Central team, they don't look like a typical Class four team,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: like just they they're just already solo coached by Brian
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: Short and like they're just they're they're they look bigger
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: than them last year because last year was their best
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: team they've ever had. These guys are giving them a
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: run for their money. I'm telling you, I mean, they're
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: they probably have. I'm not gonna say they have a
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: better rushing attack because again they were really good there too.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: But Cole Davis is a really good runner, and then
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: Carrera is a solid quarterback, and then they got three
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: very good receivers and they might be able to run
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: the ball a little bit better too, and then their
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: defense is just absolutely nasty. Yeah, It's like Jackson Campworth
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: and Cole Davis are two great running backs, Brody Beckerman
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: really good, and Max Albers and Aiden Hugan both have
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: three interceptions on the season for them, Clayton Jansen has
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: five sacks, and they're just really good. They're really good.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: They have and they got depth, and they were just
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: their game day environment there is incredible. It's probably the
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: best small school game day place to go watch a
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: football game in our in our entire entire area.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: You keep saying stuff like that, I don't have to
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: go to their game this Saturday.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: I was I was about to say unfortunately, not that, yeah,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: not that it's unfortunately, but but it's that, yeah, But
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: it's just it's it's great. And like they they've made
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: so many upgrades to their facilities, fairly good new turf.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: It suits them well. And they just they got like
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: their own like athletic facility or not not even that,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: like they have their own Yeah, they don't know how
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: to describe it, but they have their own little building
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: where they can just do all like different athletic stuff,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: which is besides the basketball gym for they can use
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: it for football and a lot of other stuff. And
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: it looks like they have made even more upgrades into
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: their stadium and it looks like a completely different place
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: than where when I was there last year. And it's
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: just it's awesome. They do it. They do it really
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: really well over there, uh in in Breeze Illinois.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: So well Congress the Breeze on winning that one and
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: Congress to Freeburg on good season, I mean.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: One of their better years than along quite a while. Yeah,
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: I mean they've did a good program too, but just
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: nine and two and how they went about it, I
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: mean only two losses were the Central but then the
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: I mean they knocked off Taylorville, they beat Columbia Rock
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: Sanna Highland. So it's yeah, really good year for them.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah. One game will go over briefly. Rochester defeats Waterloo.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 4: Final score in this ones fifty five to twenty one.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 4: After a tough first quarter, Waterloo was able to respond
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 4: prety well in the second quarter with a couple of
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 4: oh Kneburgy touchdowns to make it fourteen to fourteen. Then
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 4: Rochester scored two touchdowns in the final ninety seconds of
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 4: the first half to go out twenty eight fourteen, and
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 4: then didn't look back and from the three of the
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 4: mark in the second quarter to a minute left from
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 4: the game, Rochester went on a forty two nothing run
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: to really put this one away. So tough way to
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: go out for Waterloo, but a solid teason for the Bulldogs.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 4: They go seven and four, win a playoff game last
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: week and it's Mount Zion, which is a game that
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: I'm sure those seniors are gonna remember forever.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: And that game was insane. That was a crazy, crazy
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: game that had last week.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: I mean knocked out like a favorite to get back
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: to state.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So congrats to Water Luna.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: Good season.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 4: We'll keep going on the line we got well.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about Cohokia. Since we're in this have we
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: got two more six games?
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get through those.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Cohokia another really convincing win, this time over Jacksonville.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: I guess the Commanche's got a break with Jacksonville the
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: sixteen seed upsetting the one seed last week.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: I forgot, Yeah, only only Richmond, Richmond County.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Commanchees took full advantage of that with
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: they had a thirty to seven lead at halftime.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: Nigel good in their quarterback Collier.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: J's dog man for fifteen and ninety twenty one hundred
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: and ninety three yards. Collier with five rushing, five rushes
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: for one hundred and twenty four yards, and then he
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: had receptions for one hundred and three yards. So yeah,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: that guy's a dog for sure. And then Makai Henderson
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: nineteen carries one hundred and twenty five rushing yards for Kahokia.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: They just got several weapons.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 4: You rarely see. This is a great, an insane stat
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 4: line from Kalier Junior. He's averaged so one hundred twenty
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 4: four rushing yards averaged just a shade under twenty five
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: yards per carry. He had three catches for one hundred
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: and three yards, averaging over thirty four yards per reception.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 4: How often do you see a guy get over one
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: hundred yards receiving and rushing in the same game. Not
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 4: too often. That is super impressive from Kalier. He is
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 4: one of the better athletes in the whole area. Really
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 4: and you know, Kooki also forced three turnovers in this game,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: got two sacks. They were in control the whole time.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, this was this was the commanche's game the
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 4: whole way. So congrats on them for winning. So now
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 4: he got an unstoppable force in the Kahokia rushing attack
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 4: against the immovable object, which is a pre central defense.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: This should be a very very interesting one next week.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 4: But I'm glad both teams once now we are guaranteed
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 4: to get in the semifinals in Class four, assuming East
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: Louis takes care of business well too well too with
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 4: one in class four one class six, that's be fun.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully we can have h two teams at state
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: in Bloomington.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: That in a while.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: We had that.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 4: Ever, we two teams in the sixt one eight in
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 4: the state championship the same weekend.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: No, it's been last year. All off, Inas Louis.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 4: I forgot about all to off. I forgot man, I
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: all tall. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: It's I'm I forgot about because they didn't make fun.
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: They didn't make the playoffs this year, so you just
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: forget about I did. I did that, Sorry, Crusaders just
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: like me. So I tweeted out like these are like
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: literally last year. I had a moment like that other
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: night where I tweeted, this is off going off of
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: the Duke comeback of like these are like the five
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: biggest comebacks I can remember and since like twenty fourteen
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: or whatever. And then it's like last year, I completely
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: forgot that SLEW had their biggest ever comeback win over
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: Written or last year in the first round of the playoffs. So,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: and I knew I was gonna forget something, but as
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: far as I know, that's about it though, So that's
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: I was thinking, like, I'm probably gonna missed like three
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: obvious ones, but it's only just I've only been reminded
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: so far of that one. So yeah, all right, and
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: then the last six point eight game that concerns us,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: You and I went to and we had a really
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: fun time as we traveled up to Carrollton, Illinois to
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: see the Dupo Tigers take on the Hawks. And the
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: Tigers they're coming off their first playoff win since nineteen
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: ninety four, trying to get back to the quarterfinals and
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: match that when they yeah, they got to the quarterfinals
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety four, but they fall short thirty four
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: to nineteen loss to the Hawks on the road.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: And this was it was just sad because.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: No, no, like not saying like it's batterfering or whatever,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: but just Degan Prager, Degan Prater when Dupo was rolling,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: they're up thirteen to nothing. He's also their their kicker
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: on special team.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 4: The kicker.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: Uh, I don't think he had any of those actually,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: but but he he is a good kicker. So Carrollton
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: lineman got through and blocked the pat and then the
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: fall through landed on his left leg or ankle or whatever.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: I think it was his ankle.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: It looked like a pre bad ankle.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: It was Yeah, it was bad. It was bad enough
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: where Prader was never the same. In fact, he could
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: and he was, he was able. He got better in
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: the second half of moving, but it was just bad.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: Like I think, a lot of kids I think would
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: have taken themselves out. But he, I'll tell you what,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: he willed himself.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 4: He was a war This kid's tough as nails and
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 4: for him to even go back in the game after
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 4: that was extremely impressive. And I think that if he
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 4: does not get hurt, Dupo.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: Wins this one.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: I agree with you, which is so sad.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 4: That's such a tough break for the Tigers. I mean,
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 4: to have your best player in school.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 2: History arguably, I mean, they've had a pretty nice history,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: but he's easily their best player they've had in probably
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: thirty years.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's such a that broke my heart watching that.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, a kid that's been fighting his tail off
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 4: four years to bring this program back.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: To where it is the biggest game of his life,
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: the biggest game of his life, and it's just that's
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: so sad.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And you know, you can't really get mad at
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 4: yourself if you're potentially the guy who hurt him on
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: Carleton or a lineman who let it happen, because.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: That that's just bad luck.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's it's football. That's unfortunately part of our game.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 4: It's a violent game.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: It's just how it is. And I was worried for
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: Degan that like his ankle was going to get worse,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: because I thought I was afraid he was going to
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: take another hit because he was out there. But no,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: he managed it really well all things considered.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and tough, tough break for Dupo, but a heck
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: of a season for the Tigers. I mean they graduate
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 4: a lot, so we'll see if they can get back
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 4: to this this level of play.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was but that was a big metal hurdle
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: for them too. And I actually I think the lineman
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: who I think I saw him at halftime like he
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: was crying, like because he I think he took I'm
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: assuming maybe he's this assuming responsibility for that, but like, look, dude,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: it's just football. It happens, you know, he got back
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: out there too, and so I mean so and then
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: a lot to the team. I mean, I don't know
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: if he's their heart and soul their team, you know,
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: because it's not just the most talented player, sometimes it's
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: someone else. But he certainly meant everything to the team.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: And so I think that was a big metal hurdle
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: for those guys to get over that. And it was
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: thirteen to nothing, and then Carlton ended up out scoring
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: Dupo thirty four to six, and so we got to
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: give Carlton praise. That their quarterback, Carson Flowers was really good.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: Thirteen touchdown sorry, three touchdown passes he ran for one
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: he had they they Dupo did have two interceptions on him,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: and but for the most part, Flowers was really good.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: He made a lot of nice throws in the game,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of completions over twenty yards.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: And he was a really good linebacker too. In fact,
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: he had one really big hit on one of the
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: dupe O receivers and that game too, So that was
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: just like that was just a great one a football game,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: It just it's funny, you see.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: It was like I think they got to stop or
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: flowers got to tackle, they just gets up and just
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: walks a few few yards on the other side of
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: the ball and just gets ready to call pla that quarterback. Yeah,
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: I can't really say I've seen that this season since
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: we're you know, we're in St. Louis. There's you know,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 2: it's rare to see quarterbacks play both ways, and especially
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: I mean it's extremely rare to see a quarterback as
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: a linebacker as well. Yeah, So I gotta say Carlton,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: they were they were the more physical team, I thought,
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: because they were able to hit hard and they were
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: fortunate nobody, nobody on that team really got hurt in
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: dupo at numerous times besides prayer, they had guys exit
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: the game for for injuries. So it was it was
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: a physical battle. And I think that's maybe where Carrollton's
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: you know, strength of schedule came into play, because they
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: play in a really physical conference, the w i v C.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: And just in I mean Carrollton, the team they played
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: Brown County, they were also wiv c C opponent, and
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: they knocked off one of the best teams in the state.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: And Camp Point Central, another WVC opponent just right down
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: the road from Brown County to So just to give
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: you guys a little example of how competitive that conference is.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: There you go and and then Calhoun, who's another WVC
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: team there, and they're in the other quarterfinal game two
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: and and and in one A in the South bracket.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it was a great environment. The Dupo fans
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: are great. You know.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: I don't I didn't.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: I didn't agree with some of the opinions their fans
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: had about certain plays, but they were fantastic fans.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: Like they they might have had more fans in Carrollton.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 4: I got a couple of things said about Dupo real quick.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 4: So first of all, I know this is not how
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 4: they wanted the season end. I mean, with an unlucky
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 4: injury break and to lose this game that when fully healthy,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 4: I think they win.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 2: You know what Dupo did.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 4: They got everyone talking about Dupo, which is the first
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 4: time that I can remember that area was talking about
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 4: Dupo Tigers.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: So that is really really cool.
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 4: With this senior class, with this coaching staff has been
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 4: able to do, this program is extremely impressive. So I
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 4: know that, you know, losing the second round was not
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 4: their goal, but to bring this program in where it
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 4: is is extremely impressive and coach Klaustermeyer has done an
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 4: incredible job, done an amazing, amazing work with these boys
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 4: in this community. I mean, it seemed like the entire
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 4: town of Dupo travel out to Carrollton for this game.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: It was super cool.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 4: It was so cool. There were so many people there.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 4: It was really really cool. So, I mean, tough, tough
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 4: way to end it, but I'm very impressed with where
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 4: Dupo is at and where especially relatives where they were
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 4: just a few years ago.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: Right, And.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 4: The second thing I want to say, the Dupo fans.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 4: You know, they came in full force. They were allowed
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 4: for their team, cheered well for their team.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: Honestly, I think it mattered more for them compared to
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: Carleton because Carrollton this is the seventh time in fourteen
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: years they've now been to a quarterfinal.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is this is pretty pretty normal for Carlton
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 4: to do. And the Dupo fans, I think we're great.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 4: But one little annoying thing. It seemed like every single
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 4: time that Dupo attempted to pass, you would hear several
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 4: an incomplete pass. There are several Dupo fans call for
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 4: a passer afference even when it wasn't.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: And then every time that.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 4: Carleton attempted to pass that was that was caught, they
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 4: would say, oh, that was holding, that was offensive.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 3: Past my reference, I was.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: Like, there's something, there's always something.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like it's like all right, Like I love
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 4: those fans, but this is a tip to all fans,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 4: not just dupo fans.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: We hear this across almost every fan base.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: I used to cover Carlton, so I'm really I'm really
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: close to the source material on the Carrollton side, but
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: I've definitely been I've covered a lot of Carrollton games
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: where I'm on their side, and they'll have their own
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: fans say similar.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 3: So for all the fans listening right now, not not
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: a ton of their fans.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: By the way, but there's always there's every every fan
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: base has a few and maybe some have a few more.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 4: This is I'm gonn I'm gonna give some some advice
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 4: to some of the fans listening. So as a coach,
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 4: I will say, if if you are a fan of
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 4: a team and you do not see your team's head
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: coach complaining about a call, you should not be complaining either.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 4: Because if the head coach and none of the players
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 4: are complaining about the about the call, then it shouldn't
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 4: have been a flag. Yeah, And I think the referees
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 4: in the Carlton games an excellent job and there are really.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: No there were There were no big delays.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there were no delays. The game went pretty seamlessly.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: Besides the besides the injury timeouts which happened.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think it was a very well
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 4: officiated game. So just the claims that the Rest gave
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 4: Curlton the game is that's not true. I mean, that's
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 4: that's come on, that's that's silly. But you know, if
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 4: you're a fan and you think that the Rest are
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 4: out to get you, first look at your team's head coach.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: If he is freaking out, then maybe you can freak out.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 4: But if if your coach, who knows what he's doing
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 4: and knows what he's looking at, is not mad about
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 4: a call, then maybe your team's had a bad play.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it happens.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: And I always thought I shouldn't complain. For a long time.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: I always thought, like, look and I'll like I because
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: the first player, the first thing you see are the
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: players reactions, and if the players aren't like freaking out,
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 2: are arguing, and then that's always been been my cue
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: to just.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 4: I look at the coaches first. The players can be
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 4: a little pop can be a little some times.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: And especially when I'm like watching TV, because you're only
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: going to get the players immediate reactions there. So like
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: if if they're not reacting like badly, then like okay,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: probably because they they know they their body language will
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 2: tell you usually, and so if they're not freaking out
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: about it, then yeah, probably not going to argue with
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: that too. But lastly, there was did you did you
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: approve of the gosh, did you was crazy?
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: Did you approve of the Carrollton? I don't think.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: I don't think it was their PA announcer, but like
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: whoever was in charge of their their sound system? Did
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: you approve of them them playing I got the tiger
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: by the tail.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 4: I would play the okay, So what happened was so
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 4: Carleton gets the ball back after forcing turnover on downs.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: They're driving, they're driving, it's about two minutes left. It's
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: like it's it's very clear that they're gonna win, get.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 4: A first down, and they've taken any of the games over.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: It was already pretty clear.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 4: And so about two minutes left, the Carlton press box
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 4: starts playing the song I've Got a Tiger by the
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 4: Tail by Buck Owens, and.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 3: The the first line of the song it.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 4: Is I've got a Tiger by the tail and all
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 4: the Dupo fans start doing, which was I mean, it
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 4: was it was funny, like it was like that that
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 4: was so cold, though, Like, come on, like this team
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 4: you just played, it was the first time they're there,
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 4: they were doing the second last year or no, they
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 4: were last year, nineties and they get a brutal injury
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 4: and they lose the game.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 3: Like I would play that.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 2: Song if it's like a rival or something.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 4: Maybe if it's a rivalry game or like before the game.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 4: Maybe no, well that would have that would have been wise.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know, like playing it at that time, is
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 4: that's so cold.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: That's so cold If you play that song before a
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: game when you're playing a team who's name Tigers, I mean,
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: that's just you're just kind of adding fuel to the
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: fire to the other team.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: So you're really kind of doing a disservice to your
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: own side.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 5: But that was just that was so I've never seen
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 5: I've never the people running the press box I've never
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 5: even got before, and I've been to.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 2: A I covered a lot of Carrollton games in the past,
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: and I've never seen them do that before too, so
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: it had to have been a special occasion.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and the game wasn't outside of the very end it.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: Was kind of it was a little ship, It was
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: a little bit, there was a little there was anything.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: Not crazy crazy no. Yeah, yeah, we're not going to
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 2: get into that side of it too, because we could
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: be here for a while. But I thought it was
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 2: all in all a well spirited game and it was
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: a fun, fun, high scoring game, fun game and small
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: town football is just so awesome you can't beat it.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 4: No, it is that that was a green environment. They
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 4: had a Carleton very fun game to launch launch a game.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wish there were more Carrollton fans there. I
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: know there are more of them, and they just didn't
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: really a lot of them liked I think just prefer
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 2: to stand on the sidelines and which is fine. But
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: behind the end yeah, the find the end zone. They
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: had nice end zone seating there. But it was good
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: to be back there in Carrollton. And I I said,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: I'm close to the source of them since I used
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: to cover them a lot. So I'm really happy they won,
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: but at the same time, you know, I was I
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: was disappointed with how they were able to kind of
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 2: win that game because I think, in my opinion, there's
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: a little asterisk behind it just because the other team's
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: best player got hurt middle of the game. And I
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: really think they go on to win. And I think
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 2: Carlton people would probably tell you that they were more fit,
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: because I agree.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: I think Carlton was more physical, but I.
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: Think it doesn't happen if they're, you know, continue to
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: lose like that, and you know, if they keep going behind,
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: they most likely lose the game. And they were having
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: trouble moving the football too. I mean, they were able
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: to move it even when Prader was healthy as a safety,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: but they weren't able to score. And with him out.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: It was funny because the first play of their next drive,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: they threw it over the top, which is where Praterer
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 2: would have been on defense, and then they score.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 4: So all right, we'll move on one more to talk
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 4: about Double East Falls, right, the least hung in there.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 4: I mean in the first the first quarter was good
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 4: for the Lancers.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: They had a good they had a nice fight.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 4: They forged interception and then they tied the game and
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 4: the ensuing drive to make it seven to seven. Then
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 4: Mount Calmwell kind of pulled ahead, and I know, I
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 4: know Bebble East was able to get some more scores
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 4: in the late part of the third quarter.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: I believe it was in the fourth quarter.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: It was I think the biggest score was forty.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: One to seven, yeah, in the second half, and then
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: a backdoor cover here in by Bebble East they did.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 4: But you know, unfortunate that they had to go up
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 4: against the number one, number one right team in class
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 4: Date in the second round. But that's just the way
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 4: that the cards, cards fell. And you know, a good
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 4: year for Lancers, really really good year for Lancers. They
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 4: finished eight and three.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know what they're gonna do
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: next year because they this was a big year for them.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: I know they had a good amount of senior contributors,
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: like you know, Jonathan Rulo it was going to I
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: think he's going to Iowa, yes, And then as a lineman,
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: Cayden Wood had a really nice season at quarterback for them.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: Jaden Beeman and then I think Josh Ware are both seniors.
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 2: James Johnson Is he's a senior too, so like a
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: lot of their best players or seniors for them there too,
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: got they got Carrie actually Johnson is he's a junior,
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 2: then Carrie will so there their top two receivers are
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: both coming back and and that's good and I think
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: they have and Kingston Jones he's he's their backup quarterback
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: who actually got a lot of snaps his sophomore year.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: He'll be back as a junior two, So actually things
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: may not be looking quite so bad for them. But
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: also Josh Ware is a nice player for them too.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 2: He's a senior as well, so gotta be tough. But
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: Bevilis has been really competitive for the last three or
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: four years or so, so I'd like for them to
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: be able to kind of stay where they are at
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: right now and being really competitive and getting to the playoffs. Yep.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 2: So we.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 3: Really just one other game that I want to discuss.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 4: Live for Life comes back to Life after the first
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 4: ends to defeat Saint Genevie fifty four to forty one.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 4: This game was crazy, so Live for Life digs himself
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 4: of a massive hole on the first quarter. They go
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 4: down twenty one to zero. I don't know how they
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 4: keep doing this offensively. They just I think I'm not
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 4: sure if they had turnovers in the first they must have,
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 4: but I believe so I'm going through this stuff. Oh
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 4: my gosh, Phoenix. Isaiah seventeen to thirty four, five hundred
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 4: and two passing yards, seven touchdowns, one interception.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: Whoa best game of his career so far.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 4: Seven Jackson had one hundred and eighty eight rushing yards
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 4: on eleven carries, seventeen yards per carry so far.
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: Not to stay say, Stephen Jackson, be just if you're
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: a former.
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 4: Rams legend, Stephen Jackson. Yeah, but in the second quarter,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 4: the Hawks just turned it up to eleven. I mean
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 4: they had that right there.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 2: Is what that second quarter is what they are capable
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: of doing for an entire game, Phoenix.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 4: I mean the Hawks had three three touchdowns in the
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 4: year over forty yards, and the second quarter alone, no
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 4: four they had. They had a sixty yarder from Isaiah
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 4: Wolfolk Junior. They had a fifty nine yarder from Isaiah
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 4: to Achillian Henderson, they had a forty four yarder from
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 4: Isaiah to Javion Scott, and they had a sixty eight
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 4: yard patch.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 3: Touchdown from Isaiah DeShawn Moss.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 4: So the second that these Hawks receivers got a step
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 4: on the opposing Saint Genevieve corner, it was over. The
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 4: speed was just too much, and you know, they lost
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 4: the first quarter twenty.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 3: One zero, and then they won. They won the second quarter.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 4: Thirty four to seven, and was crazy enough after So
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 4: after the Saint Jenneviy touchdown in the second quarter, they
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 4: did not score on offense the rest of the game.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 4: Their two touchdowns in the third quarter both came off
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 4: defensive scoop and scores.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: So they did have a fifty eight yard touchdown reception
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: from Tony Woolfolk in the fourth quarter, no.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 4: Saint Genevieve's Oh sorry, Saint Genevieve had the seventy five
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 4: yard fundal recovery for touchdown and the third quarter thirty
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 4: two yarder as well.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 2: I misheard you. So it was a game, yeah, this
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 2: was it was a game.
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 4: It was tired, it was an insane game. Yeah, this
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 4: game was so back and.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 2: Forth and it was actually it was a one score game.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: But I think Sant Javie had the ball at midfield
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: or whatever. And then in the last play I'm assuming
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: because it said no attempted Tristan Short with a fifty
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: yard pick six.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah that much been.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that must be, so it would have it would
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: have been it would have been forty eight forty one. Yeah.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 3: Wow, what a way to end the game.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is the first time in a very
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 4: very long time that I've seen one team have three
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 4: guys with one hundred and twenty or more receiving yards. Henderson,
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 4: Javian Scott, and Tony Woofold Junior all had that much
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 4: insane game for the Hawks.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is and then the Shawn Moss had
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 2: sixty eight yards on one touch on. He had a
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: sixty eight yard touchdown reception. That's all he had. Yeah.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 4: I mean the way that coach Wolfulk can just incorporate
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 4: all his great athletes in his offense is very impressive.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 4: And yeah, they're gonna they're gonna be a tough team
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 4: to beat from here on out. I mean, if they
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 4: just don't dig themselves massive holes, they can.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 3: They can do such.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 2: They're the thing.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: They're talented team by far in class.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: If they don't, if they play i mean, it's not
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 2: really at this point of the season, They're just not
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 2: gonna play falls football for four for four full quarters.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 2: I hope they do, but I hope they do. But
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: they can still do a lot better than that and
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: still win, should be able to beat every team. They
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: don't have to be flawless for an entire game because
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: they're just that talented, Like they can overcome some of
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: that stuff, but just don't dig yourselves in these holes.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 2: And and I'm sure, I'm pretty sure there must have
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: been some just you know, on forced penalties on their
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: part two and you know, self inflicted, which is every
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: time I've seen Lift for Life play this season, they
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 2: have those. Yeah, but a memorable victory at the same time. Yeah,
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: they're gonna remember that second quarter for the for a
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 2: really long time, scoring thirty four points right there. And
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: then that third quarter is really interesting too, like you
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: two scoop and scores by Saint Genevieve one from seventy
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: five yards. So I mean, really, if they don't turn
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: the ball over on that, because that's for Life is
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: driving right there. So if you know that, that changes
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 2: the game right there entirely back into a really close game.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, some other scores will go over.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna go too much in depth. Patton Philby
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 4: tasled West fifty six zero, not surprise. Ritten never beats
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 4: with Central forty two six, no surprise, and now a
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 4: nice rivalry game should be a close interesting one Class
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 4: six District three championship game.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: Fox fell to farment In forty nine to twenty eight,
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 2: and then they'll meet Cape Central, who beat Webster Groves.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 4: This was a close to the Webster Groves Cape Center
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 4: game was close for a while and then Cape Central
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 4: just totally blew it open in a second.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: It was sixteen fourteen Cape Central at halftime, and then
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: it was Webster actually took the lead in the in
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: the first like midway through the third quarter, it was well,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: oh wait, sorry, no, sorry I was wrong. No, that's
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: what made it sixteen fourteen. Yeah, okay, sorry, and then
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: it was all after that thirty four on answered points. Ah,
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: that's too bad.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 4: Similar similar story here, Oakville falls to Jackson forty nine
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 4: to seven. I think Oakville was it tied seven seven
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 4: or were they up seven to zero?
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: Seven up seven to zero.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 4: And then Jackson scores for the unanswered. That's that's tough,
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 4: but great season for Oakville. They finished eight and three
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 4: get a nice nice wins over Lindbergh Northwest Writtener. Great
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 4: season for the Tigers, the programs going in a good direction.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 2: Their scores to go Northwest to year Hill. First ever
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 2: playoff win, first ever district final appearance.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 4: I believe is their first ever district final appearance. They
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 4: continue their special season.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: And it's the first well, it's definitely I think the
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 2: furthest they've ever gotten in the in the playoffs, even
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: including prior the prior system or like this, I think
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: this is the This is the first time they've ever
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: gotten to like to the last sixteen.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 4: I mean they're in week twelve, so this this is yeah,
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 4: heck could win for the for the Lions.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, got revenge over Secment.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: They lost the segment forty nine to fourteen in week three,
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: and that's so impressed. They were able to come back
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 2: still score fourteen points, but their defense takes off thirty
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 2: five points and only holds them the sevens.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 3: Extremely impressed.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 4: They held Secment tofty yards of offense. Very nice draft
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 4: of the Lions there. I know, Serier Hill Searer Hill's
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 4: going crazy right now.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 2: That's great.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 3: Good good to see if the Lions.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Cedar, It's it's more than just Cedar Hill.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 3: I know that.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 4: There's Yeah, they've got a big coverage, a lot of
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 4: a lot.
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: Of small towns in that that school districts, I know,
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 2: out of the area.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 4: Blue Springs South was talking a big game.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: Well it was just their talking a big game.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: It was just their students.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 2: So we can't you can't judge their their students section
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: on it and for everybody.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 4: But in the undefeated Jaguars fall to district rival Blue
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 4: Springs twenty nine to ten.
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 2: That's ten, absolutely brutal.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 3: That's the most surprising result of the state.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: This is this was a Blue Springs South team. This
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: is probably one of the best teams they've ever had,
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 2: and this is I think they've won five state titles,
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 2: but this is I heard someone say that, like it
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: seems like every five years Blue Spring South has a
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: state caliber, capable team of winning state, and they certainly did.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 2: They were probably for me, I thought they were the
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: second best team in the state besides CBC. They of
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 2: course thought they were the best team in the state
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 2: besides anybody. And you can't blame them for that, you know,
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 2: I'm sure those guys hadn't seen CBC and whatnot. What
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: they're really capable of. Still a lot of people haven't.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 2: But I mean against that was always gonna be really
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: tough against because Blue Springs they're a really good team too.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: They still South beat Blue Springs earlier in the season,
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 2: So it's really hard to beat a pretty good team twice.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: I get it, but man, I always score ten points
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 2: and at home. That's a bitter pill to swallow.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 4: Not good. Parkway West roles over North Point fifty to
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 4: twenty one. This game was never really that close. Kirkwood
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 4: rules over Ralla thirty.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 2: Five to zero. Do you want to talk about zimbalk North,
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: I mean we can't.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 3: I think they forced like four interceptions that this game
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 3: was not close. Nor North killed Timberland.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 2: I mean this is a rematch of their week two
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 2: weeks in game.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so the last two opponents on the North has
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 4: played has both been Timberland, and neither game was really
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 4: that close at all.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: I wonder how pumped up Timberland was for this game,
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: Like it didn't ended up not mattering because it was
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 2: just it's like it was never in doubt. We got
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: to play these guys again. Yeah, I mean, I like
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: immediately afterwards, so yeah, it's not not fun.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's yeah. North continues to nominate Jaden Burrowson being
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 4: back is huge for them. Should be a very interesting
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 4: classified Distric four championship.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: Between them and Parkway West team with two contrasting styles.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 4: Very contrasting styles in Class four.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 3: Festest rolled over Hillsborough forty one zero.
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 4: Nice arrival, well win for the Tigers there, and then
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 4: North County beats Perryville, so we got a Festus versus
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 4: North County district championship game that.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 3: Should be fun.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 2: Oh my, oh Mike, Yeah, the Honnie.
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 4: They triple o'clock Westminster for nine to fourteen, and they
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 4: get into district championship game against Sullivan, who'd be Union
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 4: twenty to twenty one. Parkwood North kind of squeaks one
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 4: out against Holds twenty eight to ten, so they will
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 4: meet Orchard Farm.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 2: It wasn't that close though I was following along. It
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 2: was twenty eight to.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 4: Three and its most dangerous leading football.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yes, you would know. I can't recall
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: anybody besides Marquette beating Kirkwood. They were losing thirty four
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: to seven. They came back to win. So other than that,
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: I cannot recall any team ever overcoming a twenty five
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: point deficit and winning. No, but Parkway North. They just
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 2: they did what they were supposed to do pretty much.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 2: That was a game where they always had like a
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: two score lead for the most part, so they were fine.
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: That wasn't really that close. Yeah, they match up again.
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 2: They rematched with Orchard Farm and the district championship going
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: back to last season.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 4: There then the winner of the Parkway North Orchard Farm
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 4: district title game will play the winner of the Luther
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 4: North Saint Mary's District title game. Luther North defeats the
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 4: undefeated Gateway Stam Jaguars thirty four zero to end Gateways
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 4: matchical season.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: Well that's two years in a row.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: Wheor Gateway they went undefeated and then just kind of
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 2: had a big loss in the playoffs.
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 4: Yep, that's kind of it is they loved Yeah, yeah.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: Because they was their second Wait, hold on, I think
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: they won a few games last day, actually won their
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: district last year. Yeah, yeah, they beat Union Pacific and
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: then they lost badly to Professis. But this year, unfortunately
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: for them, they had to run into a really good
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 2: opponent in Luther North where you know North. They were
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 2: four and three and not as good as last year,
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: clearly as their state championship team, but they're still a
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: pretty tough opponent. And yeah, thirty four to nothing, I'm
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 2: really not surprised with that.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 4: And they will play Saint Mary's who defeats Jennings ford
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 4: to twenty four. This is a somewhat close game, but
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 4: Saint Mary's was in control pretty much the whole time. Yeah,
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 4: tough way to got for Jennings, But I'm starch green
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 4: on having a great season there in his first year
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 4: at the home and.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: Jennings started out undefeated eight tozer and then you lose
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: your next two games seven Oh sorry, less than the Yeah,
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: you lose your next two games. Yeah.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 4: So yeah, tough way in But congrastle Jennings on a
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 4: very very improved season from last year in the year before.
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 3: It's a nice job for them.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 4: Class three. I believe Borgia won. Yes, they defeated Right
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 4: City forty five to fourteen.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: Really probably that's their best one of the seasons.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they they were, They were dominating and interesting. It
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 4: was an interesting uniform matchup because Borgia had I think
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 4: both teams had yellow pants, which you almost never see.
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 2: No, when Borgia, well typically their home uniform is all
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 2: blue with like yellow trimming, and then they're then they're
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: well gold technically, but it's it's yellow. Yeah, but yeah,
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 2: gold trimming and their gold helmet. I like that. It's
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 2: a good look. And yeah, then the right city's got
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 2: I thought they were. I think I thought right cities
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 2: purple though, right, blue and yellow?
• 1:35:54
